A paisagem urbana é constituída por múltiplas camadas de significados. Considerá-la como um texto nos permite acessar o conteúdo simbólico por meio do qual as culturas, sejam elas dominantes ou alternativas, reproduzem suas normas, seus valores e concepções de mundo. Nessa abordagem, a própria paisagem material, em todas as suas formas de expressão, configura-se como um texto que deve ser detalhadamente lido e interpretado. As evidências do significado das paisagens são encontradas também nos produtos culturais e estéticos produzidos no âmbito da sociedade: na pintura, na literatura, na música, nos filmes. Estes últimos têm um importante papel na estruturação das geografias contemporâneas. Dentro desse contexto, esse trabalho discute, por meio da análise do discurso e de uma abordagem interpretativa, a Recife/PE construída no filme Febre do Rato (2012), dirigido pelo cineasta pernambucano Cláudio Assis, na intenção de desvelar a imagem da cidade de Recife compreendendo os significados expressos na sua paisagem fílmica.Palavras-chave: Paisagem.

Considering it as a text, allows us to access the symbolic content through which the dominant or alternative cultures reproduce their norms, values and worldviews. In this approach the material landscape itself, in all its forms of expression, appears as a text that must be read and interpreted at length. Evidences of the meaning of landscapes are also found within cultural and aesthetic products in the society: in painting, in literature, in music and in films. The latter play an important role in the structuring of contemporary geographies. Within this context, this study presents a discourse analysis, and an interpretative approach, of the city of Recife/PE presented in the film Febre do Rato (2012) directed by the Brazilian filmmaker Claudio Assis, with the intention to reveal the image of Recife through the understanding of its filmic landscapes. Keywords: Landscape.

Resum: El Tirant lo Blanc és fruit d’experiències personals de Joanot Martorell. L’escriptor projecta en la novel·la una fina mirada al seu temps i, per a traslladar-ho amb vivesa, empra tota la realitat com a instrument de treball, atorgant al corpus de l’obra un vitalisme renovador. El paisatge urbà és l’escenari que forneix la ficció, que complementa la vitalitat psicològica dels protagonistes i enriqueix el seguit dels fets i històries narrades. Esdevé un recurs estètic que permet a l’escriptor enllestir la trama i  guiar la imaginació del lector per l’univers en què es desenvolupa la gesta. El present article analitza la descripció literària de la ciutat per l’escriptor, les seues consideracions estètiques del paisatge urbà per descobrir quina era, en definitiva, la seua percepció del fenomen urbà.   Paraules clau: Tirant lo Blanc, Martorell, descripció, literatura medieval, ciutat medieval.   Abstract: Tirant lo Blanc is the result of Joanot Martorell’s personal experiences. The writer projects in the novel a fine look at his time and, to move it with liveliness, he uses all reality as a working instrument to give to the corpus of the work a renewal vitality. The urban landscape is the scene that complets the narration, which complements the psychological vitality of the protagonists and enriches the series of events and stories told. It becomes an aesthetic resource that allows the author to complete the plot and guide the reader’s imagination for the universe in which the deed takes place. This article analyzes the literary description of the city by the writer and his aesthetic considerations of the urban landscape to discover what his perception of the urban phenomenon was.  Keywords: Tirant lo Blanc, Martorell, description, Medieval literature, Medieval city.

As destination of choice for many short-term study abroad programs, Berlin offers students of German language, culture and history a number of sites richly layered with significance. The complexities of these sites and the competing narratives that surround them are difficult for students to grasp in a condensed period of time. Using approaches from the spatial humanities, this article offers a case study for enhancing student learning through the creation of digital maps and itineraries in a campus-based course for subsequent use during a three-week program in Berlin. In particular, the concept of deep mapping is discussed as a means of augmenting understanding of the city and its history from a narrative across time to a narrative across the physical space of the city. As itineraries, these course-based projects were replicated on site. In moving from the digital environment to the urban landscape, this article concludes by noting meanings uncovered and narratives formed as we moved through the physical space of the city.

Writers of the early nineteenth century sought to find new ways of writing about the urban landscape when first confronted with the phenomena of London. The very nature of London's rapid growth, its unprecedented scale, and its mere difference from any other urban centre throughout the world marked it out as demanding a different register in prose and poetry. The condition of writing the city, of inventing a new writing for a new experience is explored by familiar texts of urban representation such as by Thomas De Quincey and William Wordsworth, as well as through less widely read authors such as Sarah Green, Pierce Egan, and Robert Southey, particularly his fictional Letters from England.

In recent years, with the rapid development of VR technology, its application range gradually involves the field of urban landscape design. VR technology can simulate complex environments, breaking through the limitations of traditional environmental design on large amounts of information processing and rendering of renderings. It can display complex and abstract urban environmental design through visualization. With the support of high-speed information transmission in the 5G era, VR technology can simulate the overall urban landscape design by generating VR panoramas, and it can also bring the experiencer into an immersive and interactive virtual reality world through VR video Experience. Based on this, this article uses the 5G virtual reality method in the new media urban landscape design to conduct research, aiming to provide an urban landscape design method with strong authenticity, good user experience and vividness. This paper studies the urban landscape design method in the new media environment; in addition, how to realize the VR panorama in the 5G environment, and also explores the image design of each node in the city in detail; and uses the park design in the city As an example, the realization process of the entire virtual reality is described in detail. The research in this article shows that the new media urban landscape design method based on 5G virtual reality, specifically to the design of urban roads, water divisions, street landscapes, and people’s living environment, makes the realization of smart cities possible.

The paper investigates the urban landscape changes for the last 50 years in Bucharest, the capital city of Romania. Bucharest shows a complex structural transformation driven by the socialist urban policy, followed by an intensive real-estate market development. Our analysis is based on a diachronic set of high-resolution satellite imagery: declassified CORONA KH-4B from 1968, SPOT-1 from 1989, and multisensor stacked layers from Sentinel-1 SAR together with Sentinel-2MSI from 2018. Three different datasets of land cover/use are extracted for the reference years. Each dataset reveals its own urban structure pattern. The first one illustrates a radiography of the city in the second part of the 20th century, where rural patterns meet the modern ones, while the second one reveals the frame of a city in a full process of transformation with multiple constructions sites, based on the socialist model. The third one presents an image of a cosmopolitan city during an expansion process, with a high degree of landscape heterogeneity. All the datasets are included in a built-up change analysis in order to map and assess the spatial transformations of the city pattern over 5 decades. In order to quantify and map the changes, the Built-up Change Index (BCI) is introduced. The results highlight a particular situation linked to the policy development visions for each decade, with major changes of about 50% for different built-up classes. The GIS analysis illustrates two major landscape transformations: from the old semirural structures with houses surrounded by gardens from 1968, to a compact pattern with large districts of blocks of flats in 1989, and a contemporary city defined by an uncontrolled urban sprawl process in 2018.

The construction of masculinities is an important component of the bodies and lives of gay men. The role of gay culture on body standards, body dissatisfaction, and the health of gay men was explored using poststructuralism and queer theory within an arts-based framework. Nine gay men were recruited within the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Participants were asked to photograph their beliefs, values, and practices relating to their bodies and food. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, using the photographs as guides. Data were analyzed by critical discourse analysis and resulted in three overarching threads of discourse including: (1) Muscles: The Bigger the Better, (2) The Silence of Hegemonic Masculinity, and (3) Embracing a New Day. Participants believed that challenging hegemonic masculinity was a way to work through body image tension.

The present article describes a contribution to solve transportation problems with green constraints. The aim is to solve an urban traveling salesman problem where the objective function is the total emitted CO2. We start by adapting ASIF approach for calculating CO2 emissions to the urban logistics problem. Then, we solve it using ant colony optimization metaheuristic. The problem formulation and solving will both work under a web-based mapping platform. The selected problem is a real-world NP-hard transportation problem in the city of Casablanca.

The article is devoted to one of the types of urban planning studies - the visual-landscape analysis during the integration of high-rise buildings within the historic urban environment for the purposes of providing pre-design and design studies in terms of preserving the historical urban environment and the implementation of the reconstructional resource of the area. In the article formed and systematized the stages and methods of conducting the visual-landscape analysis taking into account the influence of high-rise buildings on objects of cultural heritage and valuable historical buildings of the city. Practical application of the visual-landscape analysis provides an opportunity to assess the influence of hypothetical location of high-rise buildings on the perception of a historically developed environment and optimal building parameters. The contents of the main stages in the conduct of the visual - landscape analysis and their key aspects, concerning the construction of predicted zones of visibility of the significant historically valuable urban development objects and hypothetically planned of the high-rise buildings are revealed. The obtained data are oriented to the successive development of the planning and typological structure of the city territory and preservation of the compositional influence of valuable fragments of the historical environment in the structure of the urban landscape. On their basis, an information database is formed to determine the permissible urban development parameters of the high-rise buildings for the preservation of the compositional integrity of the urban area.
